a woman (or gay man) who is so attractive, well-groomed, hip and confident as to seem utterly unassailable to critics. Used ironically - in opprobrium - it suggests that the target has let these qualities go to her head, and now is appearing aloof or arrogant. Usually pronounced "Miss Thang." Possibly emanating from the Black subculture in the Disco 1970's, spreading to the gay subculture and mainstream in the 1980's and 1990's.

"Miss Thing" dates back (at least) to late 1960s gay male culture, when Joe Johnson produced a series of cartoons for gay newsmagazine "The Advocate" featuring a flamboyant, effeminate gay man named Miss Thing.
